Trinity College, 1987
Description
The University of Trinity College was located on this site 1852-1925 occupying a large Gothic-Revival building designed by Kivas Tully with later additions by Frank Darling. Trinity was founded as an independent institution by Bishop John Strachan following secularization of the provincially-endowed university. Awarded a Royal Charter in 1852 Trinity offered instruction in arts and divinity and for varying periods in law and medicine. It also granted degrees in music pharmacy and dentistry. In 1904 Trinity federated with the University of Toronto and in 1925 moved to a new but similar building on the Queen's Park Campus. The old building was used by the Kiwanis Boys' Club until 1956 when it was demolished. This gateway put up in 1903 has been left standing in commemoration.
